Lightning is OK, she has a scrim (basically like a sun shade) over her and lightning looks on par for any outdoor interview/newscast etc with a typical reflector to add fill light into her shadows. Look at her right shoulder you can see the sunlight hitting it when she moves a little bit out too far from the scrim. Here's an example of a typical lighting setup: https://i.pinimg.com/474x/53/df/4f/53df4fc4e6ec020e9d822463f29c92ea.jpg

The 'glitch' in the background is MPEG artifacts during the live conversion, totally normal, though it is odd that it appeared in the background only, it's not impossible.

The cat sounds I can't explain but it is possible the cat could be in the room of the other lady in the prior scene if they didn't mute her mic (they wouldn't usually mute it), but, it's not likely there would be a cat in the studio, lol. Other option is that this is a video recording of a TV screen and the cat sound is actually happening in the background of who's recording the screen. Other than that, I can't really explain it. Edit: actually I rewatched it, the other lady is in her house and not a studio it looks like so that's probably where the cat sound is coming from.

If this is green screen work it was done extremely well, after zooming in and looking at her outline, ( the edges around her) I can't see any typical green screen artifacts that are very hard to avoid. It's not totally likely a talking head ("journalist") such as herself would have a studio grade green screen setup in her home and have the 3-4 people there helping her pull it off professionally, but eh...

It's not just the lighting that is a tip-off either. The scale of the background indicates she would be standing in the street behind her.

Also, compare her to the cars in the lane closest to here. Notice how she is in full focus but the car only a few inches behind her is far more out of focus.

This makes the most sense. Fake news is still fake news but it does indeed look like she really was there.
